Spotlight on Luxury Travel Provider: Hotel Fasano Las Piedras


Hotel Fasano Las Piedras
I’m delighted to introduce you all to Hotel Fasano Las Piedras, located in the stunning Punta del Este, Uruguay. I had the pleasure of interviewing Dominic Ladet, corporate director of sales and marketing for Hotel Fasano, about what makes Hotel Fasano Las Piedras so unique and how it is quite possibly the best place to visit in all of South America.

See below for the interview:
1. Uruguay is not as well known as many other popular vacation destinations. What makes Hotel Fasano Las Piedras a fabulous property and possibly the best getaway in South America? Specifically, how does the hotel’s location and natural surroundings add to the guest experience? Share with us what a few of the luxuries guests will notice?
Punta del Este is growing every year as an international destination. The global press has set its eyes on this location and it’s a global trendy destination. Brazilians and Europeans have embraced it as a favorite destination all year round, especially during the summer and New Year’s Eve. Therefore, the Fasano brand chose this location for its first international hotel.

Punta del Este has a bit of the Hamptons, a bit of Ibiza, and a bit of Tuscany, all in one place. And the location of the hotel is on one of the most amazing locations within Punta del Este. It’s a 500-hectare farm in the highest point of the region, with breathtaking views of the countryside, the ocean and a water estuary full of birds.

The location has fabulous landscaping, with ancient trees and forests, enormous rocks, flowers, and cactus, all co-existing. It’s a destination in itself, with a spa, two restaurants, a private beach, tennis courts, a future golf course designed by Arnold Palmer, a lounge, a huge library, and all the rhythm of Punta del Este right there, just 5 kilometers away . . . with restaurants, bars, discos, amazing shopping, beaches, beautiful people, antiques, art, design, fabulous parties, and so much more.

A few luxuries: the Fasano gastronomy, the private golf course, a luxurious Renata de Abreu Spa with breathtaking views, an indoor pool, and treatments that incorporate olive oil, wine and fruits. Other luxuries include . . .
·      VIP pet treatment.
·      VIP programs for kids.
·      Mountain bikes to ride around the property.
·      The Fasano service.
·      A collection of Latin American literature in the library.
·      A private beach.

Instead of rooms, we have huge bungalows with the best views of the property, and their own terrace overlooking the best sunset in Uruguay.

2. All of Hotel Fasano’s locations are renowned for their spectacular cuisine and dining experiences. Tell us a little bit about the cuisine served at the Hotel Fasano Las Piedras and what type of dining experiences guests can expect.
The experience that makes Fasano so famous is its Italian cuisine with its own identity and more than 100 years of history in Brazil. The Fasano offers a dedicated and elegant service, and the best culinary products of Uruguay, natural and full of flavor.
Also, the environment in the restaurant is beautiful, located in the highest point of the property it has two terraces with  a view of three different towns, and an indoor salon carved in rocks with wonderful furniture and a very hip bar.

3. What activities can guests partake in, both on and off the hotel property?
On the property:
Tennis, golf, biking, trekking, swimming in the pool carved in rocks, spa treatments, fine cuisine, wine tastings, workouts with personal trainers, a private beach with kayaking, jet skiing, windsurfing, and water skiing. Or guests can just sit under a tree overlooking the ocean and countryside as they read.
Outside the property:
Beaches and all the water sports you can imagine, shopping, dining, dancing, parties, museums, art galleries and art fairs, movie theaters, casinos, and fashion shows. The tourism here is so different from other typical Uruguayan towns.

4. Describe how the Hotel Fasano Las Piedras’ bungalows add to the experience guests have while visiting?
Staying in a bungalow is like having your own private residence with all the service of Fasano at your disposal. There is more privacy and relation with nature. Bungalows have beautiful terraces with amazing views. And their sizes are very large and comfortable.

5. What is the common feedback you receive from people when they complete their first vacation in Uruguay and stay at Hotel Fasano Las Piedras?
Most of our guests don’t feel the need to leave the property. They feel incredibly happy with all it has to offer. And there is a great appreciation for the location and uniqueness.

About Hotel Fasano:
“The hotel is located 9 km from the town of La Barra, in Punta Del Este, a South American jet-set destination, home to beautiful beaches, exciting night life and trendy restaurants.”
